- Generac vs. Kohler vs. Briggs & Stratton: Breaking Down Their Differences (Which Is Better for You?). Welcome to our video of the Generac vs Kohler vs Briggs and Stratton brand comparison.
Check out Generac Generator: www.amazon.com/Generac-70432-...

The main difference between the Generac, Kohler, and Briggs and Stratton generators is the type of engine incorporated in the small-sized house standby generators. The Generac generators are equipped with the Generac’s G-Force engine, Briggs and Stratton is equipped with a Vanguard engine and the Kohler generator has been equipped with the Kohler series 7,000 V-T win.
The Vanguard engine is reliable when used for the most demanding applications. Briggs and Stratton have cheaper engines and with proper maintenance, they will last longer, Kohler engines, on the other hand, don’t run longer when compared to the Briggs and Stratton engine. Overall the Vanguard engines are better because they don’t compromise their functionality when used for the most demanding applications. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

I've heard from a lot of people in the past 2-3 years that they've switched from Generac to Kohler because Generacs always had problems. It's interesting to hear nothing but praise for their generators in this video.
Thank you for the feedback.
I think this is the issue when you know nothing about generators and only post a video for affiliate links.
@@marklitwin - How does that mean I know nothing about generators?
@@DeadofWinter321 not you, the guy who brags about Generac then posts a shameless a affiliate link.
I install them all Kohler the only one at last. 30 years as electrician
Reading specs from each brand while showing random pictures of the various generators? Come on you can do better than that.
Thank you for the feedback.
I work for tri state and we sell both briggs and generac we have more generac issues than briggs and briggs is the only one that passed the sound decimal test for inspections so this video lies and generac takes forever for parts and briggs can get within a week
Are we talking fixed whole house generators, or wheeled backup generators. I’m confused based on this video’s pictures. Portable, wheeled, and commercial units are photo are being used for the purposes of this video. . .
This video is kind of a deception. They show portable when talking about whole home stand by generators. Get your act together. Just sayin'.
Thank you for the feedback.
Thanks for all the helpful information
Kohler shave hydraulic lifters, no valve adjustment required. Generac requires valve adjustments. So my Kohler salesman tells me. I ve had good experience with all these brands of engines in various types of equipment.
I have a Generac 22Kw stand by generator it failed me twice when I needed it most, once when we had hurricane Irma and the next time when we had hurricane Ian . The first time It broke down after 6 hours the next time it broke down after 8 hours. And I'm still waiting for someone to repair it, Its been a month and no help come on Generac give me some help pleas.
The only reason Generac is all over the place in home improvement stores and on line ia because they advertise their asses off. This gact doesn't make them better products. But it does give them many sales from future disgruntled and regretful owners.
I install them both everyday I'd take briggs over generac any day generac isn't bad but to manually try and do it yourself is a pain if you don't know the setting as with briggs it's 2 buttons and your good any questions let me know I'll explain
I have a masters in Briggs. Partial to them.
Bad assumption to start with: a warranty is only worth the paper. It is written on. Someone can offer a 25 year warranty, but if they don’t provide good, prompt, professional service, and the warranty is worth virtually nothing. It’s just like a car warranty for those of us who are adult. When this young man stated what he did that raised a red flag to me immediately.
I would like to see Generac and champion stand by generators. Who has the best bang for the buck
Will see what we can do.
From what we heard, most who have trouble with whole home generators, contrary to the brand are due to them not understanding nor doing the maintenance required for the generator. Most get too small a generator and then do not break in, maintain and upkeep the generator.
You are full of crap. I have a Generac 20kw whole house generator, serviced by the dealer. 1st engine at failed at 32 hours of usage (nothing to do with non-service) rear seal just blew out and spewed oil all over our slab. Replaced under warranty but did not protect us from power outage. 2nd engine failed at 89 hours, at least this new replaced engine made it 57 hours past the first one, then on Tuesday while doing its weekly routine 20 minute cycle run my wife calls me up and said: hey the generator is running but it sounds like a little man is inside trying to get out with a hammer. She shut off, and I checked - it was a bad rod. Next engine 124 hours valve failure, and had to replace generator end because only putting out 209 Volts. I have never even made it to 200 hour oil service but the dealer came out and changed oil every year. I am now on engine #4 and generator #2 and out of warranty. Want my opinion this is total junk!
@@ShelbyvsViper Sounds like you are snak ebit by a whole basket full of snakes.
Something everyone who has or wants to buy a engine generator. " When a small generator is running at substantial or full load and a fault occurs on the system there is a good chance that the generator can not deliver sufficient energy to trip the breaker or blow the fuse. This can easily result in a fire. Several design features can reduce this risk and include 1) A low voltage and or a low frequency relay 2) an oversized engine or 3) a flywheel or 4) A large bank of shunt capacitors. Buyer be Ware! It is important to understand that the impedance of a fault can change and is very unpredictable over a short period of time.
Yes I heard the same story general has untimely issues
Anyone try to make there own?
I have a 27 KW Generac and it will not run my heat pump. Service tech gets no support from factory!!!
I love my generac
Thanks for watching
You said the Generac uses a G-Force engine, but you didn't talk about its efficiency and skipped to the Briggs and Stratton.
Thank you for the feedback. Will let the video team know.
I'll bet I'm not the only one that thinks Generac sponsored this video.
Every other reviews say generac is the loudest.
Wow. Not a bit of bias from this "Review" 🤣
The housing info is not true. Kohler is not steel. Generacs rust quickening tropical climate like South Florida.
will let the video team know.
I JUST came from the Kohler website and they are steel.
@@cfoster6804 The Frame is steel but everyone get's the durable plastic cover that goes over it. The video did not mention it and it's misleading.
This is garbage. Vanguard engine ‘better’ than Kohler??? Nuts
This is the most contradicting video I have ever seen. It will state one feature that two have an one doesn’t, then come back and say the exact opposite. This happened several times during the video. Absolute waste of time to listen to this.
Generac is trash. Pulling ours out to switch with Kohler or Champion
hope you have better luck with your new one.
He will. Kohler is by far a.better built generator.
B&S P2400 is a POS. Screws loosen ALL the time.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Your video is deceiving - You talk about the better quality of the Vanguard engine (while showing a picture of the Generac) and say the B&S engine is 'cheaper'. NEWSFLASH!!! Vanguard is the engine in the Briggs & Stratton generators. The Generac uses the G-Force engine and you don't even address it's quality. Vanguard is a B&S product.
This guy doesn't know shit. I wonder which of the 3 he owns???
